Simple Expose for lxde lubuntu no compositing required

Expose on the mac and I forget what its called in Unity but its pretty cool for checking out running programs and switching between them easily.

On Lubuntu there is no compositing which makes this feature basically impossible... Luckily Skippy XD does the trick. How? It throws up a quick compositor when you activate it to get the job done, then closes it when your finished selecting what you want. So no resources wasted.

openbox --restart

One or more XML syntax errors were found while parsing the Openbox configuration files. See stdout for more information. The last error seen was in file "/home/******/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml" line 188, with message: Comment not terminated

If you're still having trouble, it maybe because of the parts in bold. I've been lucky in making just one mistake at a time.
As I mentioned elsewhere, I prefer openbox --reconfigure because all that is needed is just to refresh the rc.xml file rather than restart openbox.
